Interview with artist / song writer Trey Billie and Yung Huss. Not to drop names but you may have already heard of some of their shit on the radio….You gotta read it to find out.
By: CAliLoVe<3>
ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING TWO VERY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS. ONE BY THE NAME OF YUNG HUSS, A MUSIC PRODUCER AND THE OTHER BY THE NAME OF TREY BILLIE, AN ARTIST/SONGWRITER. SINCE YUNG HUSS AND I WERE NEIGHBORS AT THE TIME, I WOULD OCCASIONALLY HANG OUT WITH THEM IN WHAT THEY CALL "THE LAB" AND WATCH THEM WORK FOR HOURS. AS YUNG HUSS CREATED THE SOUNDS, TREY BILLIE WOULD BRING OUT HIS NOTEPAD AND FREESTYLE TO THE BEAT, LEAVING ME TO WITNESS GREATNESS AT ITS FINEST. ONE OF THEIR MOST RECENT COLLABORATIONS TOGETHER, IS ON THIS TRACK "YOU KNOW HOW I DO".
ASIDE FROM MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER, YUNG HUSS AND TREY BILLIE HAVE ALSO HIT THE BIG SCREEN APPEARING IN MUSIC VIDEOS WITH WEST COAST RAPPERS SNOOP DOGG AND JAY ROCK.
I RECENTLY HAD A CONVERSATION WITH TREY BILLIE ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR MUSIC, ONE OF HIS MOST FAVORITE SUCCESS STORIES, HIS UPCOMING PROJECTS AND MORE. HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY...
CALILOVE:
“WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO START WRITING MUSIC AND HOW DID YOU GET INTO THIS GAME?”
TREY BILLIE:
“BASICALLY BEING AROUND OTHER ARTIST AND DOPE MUSIC PRODUCERS MADE ME WANT TO START WRITING. ALSO COLLABORATING WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. EVERYTHING I'VE DONE IN THIS GAME HAS BEEN THROUGH A REFERRAL OR TESTIMONIAL FROM SOMEONE WHO'S SEEN ME RAPPING OR DROPPING TRACKS IN ONE TAKE, AND THEN TOLD SOMEBODY ABOUT ME.”
CALILOVE:
“YOU'VE BEEN IN THE GAME FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS YOUR FAVORITE SUCCESS STORY TO DATE THAT YOU'RE MOST PROUD OF?”
TREY BILLIE:
“THAT I'M MOST PROUD OF...OH SH*T, WOW...OK, UUM...I WOULD SAY WHEN SNOOP RAPPED ON ONE OF MY FIRST SONG WRITING PROJECTS THAT I DID. I WROTE THE FIRST HALF OF THE SONG, AND SNOOP WROTE THE SECOND VERSE. WHEN HE RAPPED ON IT, I WAS LIKE OK...THE SONG IS TIGHT (T.B. STARTS TO LAUGH). I GOT TO MEET HIM AND WAS IN THE VIDEO, SO THAT WAS DOPE. BASICALLY AFTER THAT, I NEVER QUESTIONED MYSELF AS FAR AS BEING GOOD ENOUGH.”
CALILOVE:
“THAT'S WHAT'S UP! I CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW THAT WAS A DOPE MOMENT FOR YOU, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE FROM CALI. SHOUT TO SNOOP FOR GIVING YOU THAT CONFIDENCE TO KEEP WRITING. BECAUSE AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE BEAT TO A SONG, I'M ALSO INTO THE LYRICS AND THE STORY BEHIND THE MUSIC. AND BILLIE YOU GOT THAT!”
TREY BILLIE:
“FASHO, GOOD LOOK'N.”
CALILOVE:
“WHAT PROJECTS ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON RIGHT NOW?”
TREY BILLIE:
“I HAVE A VIDEO COMING OUT ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7TH FROM MY UP AND COMING MIXTAPE "BILLIE THE KIDD"(SOON TO BE RELEASED IN THE U.S. AND JAPAN.) THE SONG IS CALLED "SHE LOVES ME NOT" FEATURING WAJU (ANOTHER TALENTED UP AND COMING WEST COAST ARTIST). MAKE SURE YOU LOOK OUT FOR THAT. I'M ALSO WORKING WITH THREE PRODUCTION COMPANIES, SO I STAY BUSY. I DON'T BELIEVE IN NOT WORKING, JUST BECAUSE I RAP DOESN'T MEAN ITS NOT A JOB. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER JOB YOU GOTTA CLOCK IN, EVEN IF IT MEANS WORKING FIVE, SIX, SOMETIMES MAYBE EVEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.”
CALILOVE:
“TREY BILLIE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW VIDEO "SHE LOVES ME NOT" COMING OUT THIS FRIDAY, DEC 7TH. AND I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE RELEASE DATE OF YOUR UP AND COMING MIXTAPE "BILLIE THE KIDD" DROPPING IN THE U.S. AND JAPAN VERY SOON.”
TREY BILLIE:
“NO PROB, THANK YOU!”
WELL LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THERE YOU HAVE IT, CALILOVE'S INDI ARTIST OF THE WEEK. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW BY MY BOY ON TWITTER @TREYBILLIE OR HIT HIM UP ON FACEBOOK/TREY BILLIE.
ALSO, PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SONG "YOU KNOW HOW I DO" AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BY COMMENTING ON THIS ARTICLE. YOUR VOICE MATTERS, THANKS FOR READING =)

Metal Corner: Album Review On Apothesary: A Harsh Reality
This article was sponsored to you by: Direct Fragrances From Paul
By: Dylan Mujica
12/04/12
This article is a review of two albums recorded by Thrash/Metal band Apothesary , the bands members include: Jared Eandi, on vocals, Clayton Cagle on rhythm, lead, and bass guitar, then Greg O’Neil on drums. They have made one full length album as well as a demo of their next album titled “They All Carry Ghosts”. The bands song lyrics are themes like: war, politics, death and occultism. They have an old school thrash metal sound with low growling death metal screams and melodic guitar solos. The Album “A Harsh Reality” consists of thirteen songs with an all instrumental track and also another song which is longest song on the album being over six and a half minutes long. For being their first album and being around nearly four years now and recording an album that has longevity in their albums and songs really show what this band is capable of making in the future. As for the demo of their second Album “They All Carry Ghosts” which consists of five songs four of which are songs the band recorded. The fourth song is another long song being well over seven minutes much longer than the song on “A Harsh Reality” it also has an intro that begins with a soft piano medley then breaks into the first verse of the song. The fifth and final song of the album is a cover of the Swedish Death Metal band At the Gates song “Blinded by Fear”.

Lucky's Correction And The 12 Rules For Journalism
It has been brought to my attention by mutual friends from networking, readers and comments with asking of favors that Matt Henry AKA The Under Dawg has made. I will not go into detail of his lack of immaturity and inability to be uncompromising in his own agendas. That is not how Start Over News Magazine rolls, and I am embarrassed he bother anyone. It is a complete misrepresentation of the magazine and his press pass was taken back. We are not groupies or tail riders. Furthermore, he no longer works for the magazine. I publicly apologize for making the mistake of hiring him. As editor I wanted a mixture of older and younger voices to draw the attention of people who normally do not read the news. At times I make rush decisions trying to move this magazine forward, and due to my own recently tragic events I was blindsided. It will never happen again. But for the writers who work around the clock going beyond anything I ever asked for like Le'Andre voice of Start Over King, Mark voice of Start Over Fashion Police, and Nicetys voice of Nicetys With Start Over News Magazine and Start Over Queen as well. When I read their blogs, films, and articles I feel like I am not working hard enough. They fuel me when I am empty. Along with others working behind the scenes, and the newbies in training I am proud of the magazine now with its current team. With more to join us.
Last night a friend reference me to this article about being a good journalist, that never worry about clicks, views, and rating then I might lose sight on the content.
I needed that reminder on the why cause when we forget why then how just might die. So I share this with my readers.
Here is the cut and paste.

I needed that reminder on the why cause when we forget why then how just might die. So I share this with my readers.
Here is the cut and paste.
12 and a half rules to be a good journalist
26 January 2007
12. DO WHAT YOU LOVE: Be passionate about what you choose to do. Remember: If there’s no love in the kitchen, there is no taste on the table. Never reject the impulses of your youth. Be responsible for your life, don’t blame others for what you become or don’t become.
11. WAKE UP ANGRY, AMBITIOUS: Get the fire in your belly to do something, set things right. Respond to injustice, inhumanity, corruption. Comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable. Don’t think it is somebody else’s job. Be the change you want to see.
10. DON’T BE THE LOYAL MEMBER OF ANY PARTY, GROUP, CLUB, NGO: Credibility is everything. Retain your independence, be skeptical not cynical. Don’t mortgage your integrity. It’s like virginity—once you lose it, you have lost it forever.
9. BE CATHOLIC OF WRITERS AND WRITING: Read newspapers, magazines, books across the board. Admire writers/writing irrespective of ideology. In the age of the internet, you have no excuses for your ignorance.
8. FIND YOURSELF A ROLE-MODEL/MENTOR: Have a hero or heroine who has been there, done that. Keep in touch with people who will help you achieve your aims. Meet at least one new person every day.
7. BE A THRIVER, NOT A SURVIVOR: Don’t coast along, don’t be afraid to try out something new. Aim high, dream, have an ambition, set yourself a goal. Take a risk, think big, think differently, don’t be predictable.
6. NEVER WORK WITH SUCCESS/ REWARD IN MIND: Work for fun and the satisfaction, the rewards will come on their own. Don’t fall for cheap praise and don’t be stalled by even cheaper criticism.
5. WRITE, DRAW, SHOOT, CREATE EVERY DAY: Eventually your habits become you. Practics makes you perfect. Develop the three Ds—discipline, dedication, determination—and reward and recognition will naturally follow.
4. KEEP LEARNING EVERY DAY: You cannot learn eerything in the classroom or the newsroom. It’s a constantly changing business, keep learning. Again, in the age of the internet, you have no excuse not to do so.
3. FEAR NOBODY, QUESTION EVERYTHING: You are in the business to get the answers. Don’t be in awe of big names, power, reputations, status. This business is all about meeting total strangers and asking them questions you wouldn’t ask your parents.
2. NEVER BE EMBARRASSED TO ASK STUPID QUESTIONS: There are no stupid questions, only dumb answers. Talk less, listen more. Be humble of your ignorance.
1. CHASE YOUR DREAM: Stop living for others, avoid temptation, life is not all about money. Let your reputation never be under question. It’s true—it’s possible to earn decently and live honourably as a journalist.
***
And this half-rule
If POSSIBLE MARRY OUTSIDE THE PROFESSION: There’s nothing more boring and dreadful than waking up with somebody who goes through the same pangs and pangas as you.
11. WAKE UP ANGRY, AMBITIOUS: Get the fire in your belly to do something, set things right. Respond to injustice, inhumanity, corruption. Comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable. Don’t think it is somebody else’s job. Be the change you want to see.
10. DON’T BE THE LOYAL MEMBER OF ANY PARTY, GROUP, CLUB, NGO: Credibility is everything. Retain your independence, be skeptical not cynical. Don’t mortgage your integrity. It’s like virginity—once you lose it, you have lost it forever.

Artist Corner: Wanna Be Rappers And Real Rappers
Personal Reflection:
Is it okay for some rappers who can’t write? These people need verses written for them word for word. Meaning rappers pretending to be gangster when they are not. But then some rappers who can write and rap gets signed. For example Major Williams is a rapper that is signed by Foxx City and can actually rap. That’s a breath of fresh air. What I mean is, sometimes people have "The Right Look" or some labels are trying to find the next Eminem. I am going to keep it 100. These cats can maybe perform but ask them to freestyle they stumble, because their verses word for word was written for them. Buying hooks and concepts is one thing but verses? Why do they get a title as rapper not performer? They talk about slanging drugs when all some of them ever did was beg their parents for money so they can get high, or being a thug gang banging when they went to a private school in a very rich white city without any gang violence. What were you banging your school uniform? I can go on and on. When I was a song writer and worked with good unknown talents that are like Stunna, Cion B, Doeman, Champ, and Gigi, etc. For example one song I wrote only the hook with their help but never any of the verses. Which at the time I wanted to do. But Stunna explained to me that a true rapper should be able to flow; no one wants to be a test tube rapper. Since we report the news, being honest and fair is all we got. So I need to speak on this. One rapper I dated let’s call him Mr. Wannabe, which after a horrific experience (of me getting raped) I latch on to the closest asshole to me. That’s a whole another article. Emotionally not in my right frame of mind during that time. Anyhow Mr. Wannabe who I literally wrote a few of his rap songs word for word, and watching him record it made my stomach turn. He didn't deserve it, when there are cats with the ability to rap, write, engineer, and produce. I know singers have song writers but is it the same for rappers? I don’t know. Let Eminem be him, and the next rapper be themselves. Say no to test tube rappers. All I can do is be honest and fair, that’s why Start Over News Magazine covers known and unknown because we want to give those with talent a chance.
Say Some Shit. What Do You Think?

Last night, "School Night," we had the guest performers, Reggie Watts, Hey Rosetta!, Cuckoo Chaos, and Baby Alpaca, with the DJ set by Brandon Ginsberg, and Chris Douridas. Bardot's choice of bands had Hollywood going from silence to loud applause, completely mesmerizing the crowd. The club is also smoker-friendly, which was a big plus for me and many others.
Hey Rosetta!
Hey Rosetta! is a classic, rustic, indie band. With their variety of instruments combined with great vocals, the crowd went nuts and was enthralled with their performance. Check out the music video below, and you can find them at:

Reggie Watts "The Master of Auto-Tuning"
Reggie Watts surprised all of those who have not heard of him before last night. He's a comedian singer, relying heavily on many, many various auto-tunes he switched up during his performances. You can check out a video from him below and also more on his website:
